Our verdict
Hilton Birmingham Metropole stands on Pendigo Way in Solihull and the NEC, 8.0 miles from New Street. It is on the NEC and Resorts World complex, so the halls are a walk rather than a drive.
Birmingham Airport is 1.4 miles away. On parking, own car park, charged.
Only one of the Birmingham destinations we measure is within fifteen minutes on foot from here: the NEC Birmingham, about 3 minutes. Everything else means transport.
Its closest neighbour in our selection is Moxy Birmingham NEC and Airport, 299 metres away. Against that one, this hotel parks your car where that one cannot.
It qualifies for our hotels with parking comparison, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.
